I understand that my official mortgage offer (when that time comes) needs to be uploaded. My query is, how long roughly does it take for the money to come through from the HTB? Many thanks

So hopefully it will be sorted by this time next week. Thankfully our contracts aren't going out for a few weeks so I have time ti get it sorted. I'll post an update next week.

Just an update. I have cancelled my help to buy application which was due to expire on the 31st March and re-applied straight afterwards today. Got an instant approval and the new expiry date is the 31st December 2018. Happy days.

AFAIK, you can put in your bank details and you get it. I will put a little face, as I "think" this is what happens (from reading others' stories).

climber59 wrote: » Thanks a million for that. I got a bit impatient and rang Revenue who didn't really seem to understand what I was asking - I think it really depends on who you get on the phone. So I just cancelled it and reapplied yesterday. Hopefully that won't be a problem. Luckily we had already filed our forms as we had already claimed our health expenses so we were good to go. It took ages the first time as they had mistakenly made me liable for LPT years ago so I had to get all that sorted. I'm hoping it will be a lot quicker this time! Thanks again for responding.

I finally got my HTB codes the other day but I wasted a week ringing around asking questions when it turned out that applying for a tax clearance cert solved my problem in two minutes flat. The website said one had not been issued and I assumed I had to wait for Revenue to issue it, nope :rolleyes:
